Campuses
edit
The district currently operates two schools, Anna Yates Elementary school and Emery Secondary School. Previously the schools had separate campuses, but they are now closed.The schools moved to a shared campus in August 2016 at the newly constructed state-of-the-art facility called Emeryville Center for Community Life.[citation needed] Also sharing the ECCL site are the Emery Unified School District Office, a community health center, and city of Emeryville community and recreation spaces.[citation needed]
Emery Secondary School was formerly Emeryville High School; after the closure of Emery Middle School, it became a secondary school with the addition of the 7th and 8th grades. The school building was scheduled to close in 2012 and be replaced by a new facility, housing transitional kindergarten - 8th grades, and 9th - 12th grade sites.[2] Eddie Scruggs Smith is the principal of Emery Secondary School.[3][as of?]
